Hotel La Tranquilidad is beachfront on Isla Palo Seco at Parrita on the Central Pacific Coast. From the airport in San Jose, take the road to Jaco. Continue past Jaco through Parrita. Parrita is the closest town, about ten minutes from the island. After crossing the new bridge, turn right to Isla Palo Seco. Follow this road to a short bridge which is the entrance to the island. Turn left on the island road and go about 5 miles. There are mostly beach houses and private residences of native Costa Rican families on the island. There are two large hotels on the island, and three restaurants and bars which service the local people and beach visitors. Behind the narrow island is a wide estuary which flows in and out with the ocean tides. With the backdrop of huge mountains, this is a view to cherish. There is boat access to the estuary at the back of the vacation rental property. Enjoy the quiet, relaxing character of Costa Rica's natural environment at Hotel La Tranquilidad.

For the adventurous there is much to see and do beyond the tranquility of the cabinas. Manuel Antonio National Park is about 40 minutes south. Adjacent to the park is Quepos, an oceanfront city with restaurants, nightlife, a small airport, and a hospital. Jaco, about 40 minutes north, is known for its nightlife and surfing beach. Sport-fishing, mangrove tours, canopy tours, horseback riding, four wheeler tours, rafting, paramotoring, and more are available nearby. Mountains and rain forests are waiting to be explored. Endangered giant sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs every year. The on-site property manager will be happy to advise and arrange tours for guests.
